Princess Margaret — the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II — engaged in a torrid affair with Hollywood superstar Eddie Fisher in 1953, with Fisher reportedly bragging he satisfied the royal “multiple times” during “explosive sex.”
“Eddie never talked about Princess Margaret in public, he respected her an excessive amount of, but he told me about their encounter many, over and over during our marriage. He looked back on it with great affection,” Terry Richard, Fisher’s fourth wife, told the Every day Mail in a latest interview.
Details of the tryst, all the way down to the “cigarette smoke and expensive perfume,” are included in Richard’s latest memoir, “Beauty Queen Dreams,” the outlet reported. Richard, 69, was married to Fisher from 1975 to 1976. He died in 2010.
Fisher, then 24 and single, met Princess Margaret, then 22, in 1953 on the Red, White and Blue charity ball on the Dorchester Hotel in London attended by Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother.
“Eddie was smitten along with her the primary time he saw her,” Richard told the Every day Mail about Margaret.
“He told me she was tiny with essentially the most beautiful piercing blue eyes. He sang for 45 minutes on the ball and directed all his love songs straight at Margaret. When Eddie turned on the charm, he really turned it on,” she added.
Margaret was secretly engaged to divorcee Captain Peter Wooldridge Townsend on the time — with Richard claiming she invited Fisher to Clarence House after the show.
“You’ve gotten to admire her. Her mother and her sister, the Queen, were on the event and she or he had the courage to whisper in Eddie’s ear and proposition him for sex,” Richard said.
“Eddie told me she was a lady who knew exactly what she wanted, and on the night of the ball she wanted him.”
Richard said the crooner — whom she called the “Harry Sorts of his day” — would recall the steamy rendezvous as probably the most passionate and intense sexual encounters of his life.
Margaret reportedly wore a see-through negligee with lace embellishments.
Fisher, meanwhile, got injected with a combination of amphetamines, steroids, painkillers and animal hormones.
He admitted in memoirs to receiving “vitamin” shots from a “Dr. Feelgood.”
“He told me the sex was explosive. Margaret wasn’t a virgin. She was uninhibited in bed. It went on for ages and so they were each satisfied, multiple times. Eddie told me they ‘fit perfectly,’ and she or he cried out ‘Eddie! Oh, Eddie!’ time and again,” Richard shared.
“He told Dr. Feelgood how great the sex had been, and the doctor told him he shouldn’t expect the identical results each time.”
“Once they’d finished their whiskies, Iris, the lady-in-waiting, was called, and she or he led Eddie back down the steps and out the way in which he’d are available. He remembered every detail for years afterwards. There was a chandelier above the bed, the room was decorated in various shades of pink. The pillows were silk,” Richard continued.
“He said Margaret had essentially the most perfect breasts of any woman he had ever slept with — and he slept with a variety of women, including Liz Taylor.”
Richard reported that Fisher also slept with Iris Peake, Margaret’s lady-in-waiting.
Fisher went on to marry Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, Connie Stevens, and Betty Lin.
He had 4 children, including actresses Carrie Fisher and Joely Fisher.
He died at 82 of complications from hip surgery.
For her part, Margaret didn’t find yourself tying the knot with Townsend amid the drama their romance hath wrought — which played out in Season 5 of “The Crown.”
She married photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones in 1960, and so they had two children — David Armstrong-Jones and Sarah Chatto — before divorcing in 1978.
Margaret died in 2002 on the age of 71.
Fisher’s night of passion with Margaret was confirmed in 2016 by Carrie Fisher when she appeared on “The Jonathan Ross Show.”
“My father had sex with Princess Margaret. In a wonderful way, they made love,” Carrie said months before her death on the age of 60. “I’m going to get into a variety of trouble for this.”
